The correct answer is D) the southern and eastern Europeans who arrived in the United States in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

The group that is best described in the diagram is the southern and eastern Europeans who arrived in the United States in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

These Europeans decided to leave their native countries due to many reasons such as bad crops, problems farming the fields, raising taxes, lack of jobs, or political persecution. They decided to look for better economic opportunities in the United States and they brought their families with them. Historians considered that approximately 12 million Europeans from Ireland, Germany, and England emigrated to the United States form 1870 to the beginning of the 1900s.
